In Portugal

'Festa' is the Portuguese spelling.
Forest fires are a real threat in Central Portugal, where a lot of the hills are Eucalyptus plantations, which burn very hot. There are a lot of seasonal laws, but still they break out. From our house we often see fire planes and helicopters picking up water.
This year was the first time a big fire was close to us. It even jumped the lake and we could see the hillside opposite alight. Fortunately no one was killed. The firefighters here are mostly volunteers and people cannot praise them enough.
